    DoH + DoL button trimming

    So, assuming level 80

    What buttons for each group (in general I guess since they all share the same buttons) would I not really need to use anymore or at all? I want to sort out and unify my buttons across all the jobs.

    DoL: We didn't really get many actions from 70~80, so there isn't much to say. The only thing that comes to mind is the crystal gathering shit, and nobody gathers for crystals who who cares.
    • Elemental Wards (Menphina's Ward, etc.) probably weren't useful before, but now they have been easily usurped by Pick Clean and/or The Giving Land.

    DoH: I'm not deep enough into crafting anymore, so I can't comment. My bars are full, so I'll be curious about other peoples' answers. I think most people that care just use macros though, so they probably don't care what's on their bar except for a handful of actions for easy old synths and insane progress-heavy furniture, and macros macros macros.

    You can macro most of your crafting and be ok. After that just keep the basics and collectable on/off button.

    For gathering I would keep all the collectable buttons along with things like the HQ up buttons, Gather Rate Up Buttons, and the Nearest Node Buttons. That would be on top of the hidden node button and the swing one.

    Yeah for DoH I've gotten to a point where I reserve T, F, and C (They're the 10-12 slots on my first hotbar) for whatever macro I'm actively using. And I have macros for:

    ARR Shit
    HW Shit
    SB Shit
    Main Character Custom Delivery
    Alt Character Custom Delivery (i350, lv70)
    ShB <79 Shit
    ShB 80 Shit
    ShB Quick Synth Macro (Its just 2 Careful Synthesis 3s)
    ShB Rapid Synthesis Macro (Rapid Synthesis 3 spam under Ingenuity 2 and steady hand 2 for those base 2* mats)
    ShB Grade 2 Tinctures/Food Spam Macro
    ShB 2 Star 3 step macro w/ Excellent proc safety.

    Otherwise for actual buttons at Level80?

    Buffs: Comfort Zone (Prob shouldn't need this if you're melded), Inner Quiet, Steady Hand II
    Progress: Careful Synthesis III, Rapid Synthesis III, Name of the Elements, Brand of the Elements.
    Quality: Prepatory Touch, Prudent Touch.
    OP As fuck: Delicate Synthesis.
    Finisher: Innovation, Great Strides, Byregot's Blessing
    Durability Regain: Manipulation II, Waste Not.

    Probably good to have: Observe and Focused Synthesis.

    I guess if I were gonna do it now.

    F1 - Comfort Zone, F2 Inner Quiet. (F3 would be Initial Preparations and F4 Specialty: Reflect)

    1 - Steady Hand, 2 - Prudent Touch, 3 - Delicate Synthesis.
    4 - Waste Not II 5 - Prepatory Touch 6 - Rapid Synthesis III
    Q - Careful Synthesis III E - Observe R - Focused Synthesis
    T - Macro 1 F - Macro 2 C - Macro 3.

    (Ctrl + 1) - Innovation (Ctrl + 2) - Great Strides (Ctrl + 3) Byregot's Blessing.
    (Ctrl + 4) - Name of the Element (Ctrl + 5) - Brand of the Element.

    All my Alt Keys would just have macros I'd click and drag to T, F, and C.

    Thanks for inputs, I never considered grouping my buttons in such a way for some reason. Just managed to trim and tidy some up, just need to get used to it now.
